Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009

These pictures got to the Final round of judging in International Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009, but unfortunately no further. Getting highly commended or possibly further is one of my personal aims and is one I would love to achieve, but I feel there is along way to go yet. The Rock Pipit was fly catching at Jubilee Pool and the Snowy Owl was taken in February at Zennor. The snowy owl was probably one of the best birds I have ever scene and we were incredible lucky to stumble across when walking back to the car. It was quite happy to sit around about 60 yards away for an hour or so. Brilliant!!

About Me

I am 16 and my hobby is wildlife watching and wildlife photography. I live in Falmouth and most of my birding and photography is done in Cornwall.
All aspects of wildlife interest me, such as Reptiles and Amphibians, Butterflies and Moths, Plants and Mammals, but my main interest is Birds. In this Blog I hope to upload some of my best images along with record shots of interesting Plants and Animals.
I have recently been entering wildlife photography competitions in the hope of being highly commended, as of yet I have had no major success but in 2008 I reached the semi-finals of Wildlife photographer of the year. In the 2009 competition I went one better and reached the final round of judging but was unsuccessful. However at least I am improving!
I will upload more pictures when time allows, but due to commitments with coursework and competitions not wanting pictures to be released untill they are finished with them,there may be a delay. I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I have enjoyed taking them,Greg.

International Wildlife Photographer of the Year

This Snowy Owl was one of two shots that made it to the final round of judging in the 2009 Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year Photographic Competition and is my highest achievement in wildlife photography so far.
